A nearly Seventy year old man , Cute? .......hmmmm.....I guess I’m kinda “ Buddy Ebsen” or “ Gabby Hayes” cute....lol.....
I'm sorry... I have to be the funny one... we can do smart if you prefer... LOL
Repentance from Sins happens naturally AFTER a Person gets Saved.......Repenting from Sins does NOT get a person Saved .....check with the Repenter King in “that” type of Repentance—- his name is Judas...
The type of Repentance that SAVES ( there are three different types of Repentance ) is the one that will Lock you in to a Promise Of God—— Believing Promises Of God is what Faith is and without Faith it is “ Impossible to please God”....
The Promise is This—— “ Turn to me , and I will Turn to you” ..... That “ turning “ thing? THAT is the ONLY type of Repentance that will save you......
That type Of “ repentance” that poorly taught, Confused people are always Trotting Out That they claim is necessary for Salvation...... the Sorrow or Regret for Sin and the determination to never do something again? Nobody in the Bible does “ That” type Of “ repentance “ more than God Did ( 17 times )
So you see....while Repentance is Mandantory for Salvation.....you need to know the Correct “Type” Of Repentance.......it is NOT turning from Sin.....It “ IS” turning to God with a Contrite Heart.....it looks like this——-“ Lord Jesus, have Mercy on me a Sinner”.......
Yep it’s that simple .....God will make good on His Promise .....you turn to him( Repent) and He will Turn to you.....He will see to it that you get Saved.....It is God that starts it all by giving you a Contrite Heart That He opens up to receive the Gospel ......
I have a theory that the difference between Christians and the Mere Religionists lies in the fact that the latter “Apes” the former because they never really received their Contrite Heart.....the Common Denominator Of EVERYBODY that is in Heaven.....( in addition to their Faith in Jesus, of course)
Many in here are unintentionally funny....you know, the ones that say that they have “ stopped Sinning” ......lol....
Actually, it’s pretty sad......

Repentance from sin is BEFORE a sinner can get saved. Acts 2.37-38 is very clear

Noting especially, "Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us..."
1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. - Hebrews 12
Easily as in wow! I can't believe they did that!

I believe that our biggest problem with sin is our perspective of God and His plan of salvation.
First of all when we are born again, we have a tendency to think we are born again: Spirit, soul and body, but in reality our spirits are the only part that was born again. So when He says in 1Jo.3:9 whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him and he cannot sin; because he is born of God. The “he” He is talking about is the new man; our inner man. He calls it the “hidden man of the heart” 1Pet.3:4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible…………. So your born again spirit is incapable of sinning, all sin is in the flesh; which has not been redeemed yet. Eph.1:13 says you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise… after you heard the truth, and believed; the gospel of your salvation.
Our body has no contact with our spirit, our soul is being renewed by the Holy Spirit, “our mind, will and emotions” which with the spirit; makes up the heart of man. We think of the body as our earth suit.
If we are walking in the spirit, we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, the desires of things that only appeal our senses. This is one reason we get offended or our feelings hurt, because we are not walking in the spirit of Love, Love takes no account of evils done to it, pays no attention to a suffered wrongs, 1Pet.2:19, 2:23 when He was reviled, He reviled not again, when suffered, He didn’t threaten; but committed himself to God. Or Him that judges righteously.
So I would reiterate; our biggest problem would be our perspective of God and His plan of salvation.

Romans 6
[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

How can you say this?
Romans 7:17
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
You're not grasping what is being taught by John. One is indeed deceived who proclaims they have not sinned nor is there sin that does not need to be done away with. That is deception. Go and sin no more is Jesus' message to the human race.
John 5
[14] Afterward Jesus findeth him [a certain man who Jesus healed, and who had an infirmity 38 years] in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
How come it's the new guys come in blasting with both barrows make dumb statements and vanish. Check their member status don't play games with them.
Romans 7 is not about Paul's struggle with sin under Grace, but rather his struggle under the Law because it was of the flesh.
A dumb statement is to say Christians are destined to always commit willful sin. Truly dumb and contrary to sound doctrine.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... - Galatians 4:19
Apparently Paul was dealing with a church that was once spiritual... And then... What happened?
